hmz. What is needed I think would be some sort of spec template file developers could post with their app's, a basic xml of the app name against requirements. A bit like "PAD" files; http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/
There could then be sites operating an independant database of these files which Chrome could crosscheck again. So the user can either config for the official specs, or a user one from source X, Y or Z.
